I templates the provision of a hair curler for f shaping the locks of hair into avariety of I curls. other than the spit-curls, and which 7 is simple in construction and use. e

Having in view these and other subjects which will be mentioned in, the following 7 description, I will now "refer ings, in: which I Figure 1 is an illustration of the spit-curl "hair curler. v V v p Figure 2 shows the samehair curler with the tapepartially wound on the support.

Figure 3 shows the tap'e entirely Wound bent tape. o v 1 V p L Figure 4 shows the hair curler with the enclosed lock of hair wound inspiral form.

. Q the hair curler;

Figures 6, 7, and ,8 illustrate the use of the spit-curl hair curler ."for forming val'riouskinds ofjcurls copper, but owing to-- the availabilityof thesilk and cottoncovered wire such asis used in electrical work, I'prefer to employ such wire in, making the support 10. j The silk-orcottonjcovering' of thewire prevents i the staining of the hair due to the oxidation 140 of the copper, The coating of the electric wire isalso usually impregnatedwith wax or paraffin whichstill further-protects the hair. The length: of the 1 support 10 may ovary with the'lengthot the locks of hair,

the preferred length being slightly greaterv than the length of thelock ofhair tobe curled. To thesupport 10:issecured a tape 11, the tape being somewhat longerithanthe support'as shown in Figure 1. 'The tape against, the lock of hair withthe junction to the draw j :wound into any desired form as shownfon example in Figures l and 5. If; leftover night. the curl'bec-omes more or-less fixed in the lockof hair and retains its'form after i a removal'of the jcurler in the morning.

0n the support, the end of the support being p over to prevent the unwinding of thef 'halr curler jean cause no inconvenience to ';the, user during the night. It maybe easily Figure 5 shows another form of winding is secured-directly to the covering I I support 10 at such'an angle thatit may readilybe wound spirally on the support.

In use, the hair curler is positioned of the partslOand 11 near the scalp. The lock of'hair'isheldagainst the support 10' while the tape is wound spirally, about thesupport and lock of hair asshown in Fig hire 2. l; Whenthe tape reaches the end of oo 7 asshown in Figure 3 to prevent unw ind: 3'

the .Support,' the support must be bent over ing of the'tape. The curler with the en-. closed lock of hair may then be twisted 'or Owi gto the' small. size of heparts applied to "the hair at night and even more easily removed therefrom in the' morning.v

Since the, lock 0fh'air is-tightly enclosed 1 in the hair curler it is possible to curl even the shortest locksof'hair. There is no dan- 1 1; ger] of staining the hair, regardless of how -1ght ,the shade of the-hair i's'. While the curlerpossesses numerous andmarked advantages overfhair curlers of the present types, it is possible to manufacture and sell them at a very low figure. This is dueto the fact that there are only two parts, both. f r

of which are obtainable at a relatively low i cost and the only operation is the'uniting of these two parts by sewing, or otherwise. 7 1 Having thus described my invention 5m such full, clear, andfexactv terms that its construction and utility will be, readily un- I J derstood by others skilled in the art to which 0 v 3 it pertains,'what Iv claimas'new and desire to, secure" by Letters PatentJof-the United States is; I 1.
